Hi all, I'm new to the group and new to EQ. I've been playing maybe
three days.

I am now a level 9 barbarian warrior. So far I've been putting all my
points into 1h slashing. I have six points that I have no clue where
to put. Any suggestions? Bash, taunt? Dodge? I'm leaning towards
those, but I want to focus my efforts so that I get the most results
from my points so I can really use some advice.

Oh, for some strange reason i've been developing blacksmithing. I've
got near 30 points in that. It's fun, but seriously...will anything
fruitful ever come of this trade skill?

Thanks in advance.
